Check out tonight's AMAZING lineup and I will see you there! STORIES IN HIGH FIDELITY PRESENTS An evening of stories & music with >> Jaymay (Autu...
Some muses just continue to inspire. Especially the quirky ones. (can't figure out the capo thing but whatever) 1) Story Intro: While bumming at my friend's house in LA a few weeks ago, I was browsing some photos with her roommate- a fellow photographer- when on her computer- I spotted the name "Jaymay" pop up on her computer music list. 2) Historical Relevance: Now, I hadn't heard the name in ...

The thing about her is that she's contagiously comfortable on stage. The first time I ever saw her was by accident. I was at The Living Room to see Josh Pyke perform, and she played beforehand. She was in the middle of a residency there, and I had to crane...
